29/30Dec07 Waitara & New Plymouth

On the way from Onaero Bay to New Plymouth we passed rather quickly through Waitara. A small town with a very much used river as one of its main attractions.From the main road on route to New Plymouth the Maui gas platform is visible on the horizon.
One of the main attractions for us in New Plymouth was a visit to the gardens at the Pukekura Park during the day.With Its fernery.
And the Light Festival that night that had a Celtic band that was playing.
